Our Elderly Care Program is a unique outreach that helps aging individuals receive the help and dignity they deserve. We serve over 60 elderly people in Panajachel and San Jorge. Each individual receives a warm, nutritous lunch which always includes fruits and vegetables. We also give them vitamins and pain killers, which they so desperately need after a life-time of physical labor. We are very thankful to those of you who give to help these elderly individuals. They each have inspiring stories of the troubles they have overcome, and we are honored to help them in their final years.
However, our Elderly Care Program is quite possible the least-funded of our programs and is in desperate need of financial help. Please consider making a donation or "adopting" an elderly person by providing them with medical attention. Unfortunately, many of our elderly need medication for blood pressure or diabetes and they can't afford it. Dangerously, they go without these medications and they suffer. We want more than anything to be able to help them receive the medical care they need. Please help us help them! If you are at all interested, please contact us at familyaid@mayanfamilies.org Thank you so much!!!
